Hello everyone!

I am sorry for the delay updating the blog, here I am again with more pictures and news, I hope you enjoy them!.

My last trip in Turkey after Eskesehir ceramic symposium it was in Cappadocia, in a beautiful ceramics town called Avanos.We stayed in a wonderful place called “Venessa Pansiyon”, check www.katpatuka.org/venessa

It is highly recomended if you are going to visit Cappadocia. It is such a magical and inspiring place, the people is so nice and hospitalary and lots of art and artists around!.

I really love the experience. Thanks and lots of love to everyone we met there, especially Mukremin Tokman from Venessa Pansiyon, we had such a wonderfull time!

Day 4-5 -Turkey KÜTAYA ceramıcs cıty

Jul 5th, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized | 1 Comment »

Today ıs sunday so we have the day off to rest and get ready for next week!
I am havıng great tıme, meetıng lots of people and sharıng experıences and knowledge. The people who ıs part of the symposıum ıs very frıendly and the organızer are very kınd, generous and fun!

Yesterday we went to see a ceramıc cıty called Kütaya whıch ıs about 1.5hrs from Eskışehır. We vısıt a few ceramıc factorıes were they paınt usıng underglazes and ıncreadıble methods. Every desıgn ıs hand paınted very carefully and sometımes ıt takes more than 2 months to complete a desıgn, amazıng craft work!
Later on we walked around the cıty and vısıted a few museums.

Kütaya ıs smaller than eskışehır and not so occıdental, walkıng around the street I had the feelıng to be ın an Asıan country, the smells, people and arquıtecture of the place ıs more tradıtıonal, beautıful place. We had food ın a very typıcal restaurant, ıncreadıvle Turkey’s delıghts!

Hola, Merhaba!

Bueno unas letrıtas para los españoles que no se dıga!
Ayer fuımos de vısıta a Kütaya, una cıudad pequeña donde es muy típıca la produccıón cerámıca artesanal. Los dıseños estan pıntados a mano con una pacıencıa ıncreıble, y algunos llevan hasta cası dos meses en completarlos, un trabajo precıoso!

La cıudad es muy lında, se respıra un encantamıento asıatıco que todavía no había percıbıdo en Turkıa ya que Eskışehır es mucho mas occıdental. Los colores, olores y gentes del lugar conservan mas sus tradıcıones, una excursıón perfecta, bueno os dejo con algunas fotos y pronto mas hıstıorıas de este vıaje tan precıoso, muchos abrazos.

2nd day Ceramics Symposium- Turkey

Jul 1st, 2009 Posted in Uncategorized | 3 Comments »

A very busy day!

Firstable an introductory welcome party in the morning, because today we had new arrivals! a few people from Poland and Latvia!

The Dean and president of the university gave as an introduction of the facilities and the programmes they run in the university, turkey’s pastries and tea! Afterwards we had some time to work in our ceramics, we use mainly onglaze paint, by the end of the symposium we will decorate 5 ceramics forms.

After lunch we went for a tour around Eskiseher, we visited a few museums and galleries were they made glass, ceramics, painting and illustration. The glass museum was astonishing, excellent selection of international work. Then we went to the mosque and shopping!


In our return we had 15 minutes to get ready and a typical turkey’s dinner in the second Anadulo’s University campus! (this place is really big, they even have an aerport on it, amazing!)

Then dinner and dance time! we had a great time, people is really friendly and hospitalary, I haven’t seen much of Turkey but the people I met is so friendly, I feel very lucky to be here. I will saw you lots more photos soon. love maria
